4II
Therefore, giving up the insignia adopted by householders and the homeless ones, direct the Self to faith, knowledge and conduct, the path of emancipation
COMMENTARY
Hence the saint has to discard all bodily marks as they are useless and concentiate upon the three jewels or Right Belief, Right Knowledge, and Right Conduct which are spiritual in nature and which are therefore the true path
मोक्खपहे अप्पाण ठवेहि त चेव झाहि त चेव । तत्थेव विहर णिच्च मा विहरसु अण्णदव्वेसु ||४१२ ॥ Mokkhapahe appānam tavchi tam cheva jhahı tam cheva Tatheva vihara nichcham maviharasu annadavvesu (412)
मोक्षपथे आत्मान रथापय त चैव ध्यायस्व त चैतयस्व । तत्रैव विहर नित्य मा विहार्षीरन्यद्रव्येषु ॥ ४९२ ॥
412 Keep the Self on the path of emancipation, meditate on him, experience him, always move in Him, do not move among other things
COMMENTARY
It has already been shown that the three jewels which constitute the moksha marga are really of the nature of the Self Therefore the directions to establish, to experience, to meditates etc, refer to the Self Thus it is emphasised that you are always to live, move and have your being in the Self and never to look beyond to the outer world This is the surest method for self-realisation
Next it is pointed out that those who are devoid of real knowledge and who put their faith on bodily garbs alone, cannot realise the Absolute Self
